Player of the season
« on: April 11, 2019, 03:47:12 AM »
It doesn't look like anyone has started this yet.
Does anyone know how to do a poll on here?
Back in the old days we used to vote for player of the season by way of a coupon in the "News and Record".
It was called the Terrace Trophy back then (1960's).
My vote would be for Super John McGinn this season.
Absolutely love this guy.

Just a couple of stand outs amongst everything he has done this season would be:
Goal of the season contender against Sheff Wed (at home)...the one at Wednesday last Saturday was pretty good too.
Coming on as a sub against SHA and making the difference at 0-0 by driving us on to victory.

What a bargain 2.5 mil from Hibs.

It's a straight toss up between SJM and Jack with honourable mentions for a few others.

SJM deserves the accolade but it's been proven that there is one certain home grown Villa man that is the driving force behind this team...his injury put our season on the rails, but his return has put us back on track and literally steam rolled us into the playoff places like the proverbial promotion juggernaut.

He has taken and embraced the captaincy, and matured both as a person and a player...a true credit to Aston Villa FC, and I hope he's here to push us on for years to come and become the true Villa legend that he has dreamt of becoming since he was knee high to a grasshopper.

Think Abraham deserves a mention, with 23 League goals so far.

Has to be one of McGinn, Grealish and Abraham really.

Would be McGinn for me too.

Grealish for me.  His return has galvanised us unbelievably.

In order:

Grealish
McGinn
Abraham

Honourable mention for Mings.

Goal of the season - SJM's amazing volley, followed by Grealish's rocket from the corner.

Young player - Andre Green by default.

Jack. His stats PWS stuck up yesterday are unbelievable. With him in the team we average 3 goals a game. He is a joy to watch.

SJM is a close second though, his workrate ability and drive is awsome.

Abraham qualifies for this, surely? He's only 21.

Abraham has been great, and Jack has been phenomenal when he has been available.

McGinn for me, though. Never seen a player quite like him. What an arse that boy has.

I suppose so.  I think giving it to a loan player rather than one of our own for the young player award would be a bit off though.

not quite sure about SJM for player of the season. I’d go with Grealish just for his influence on the 7 wins since he came back from injury. I agree with you though- 2.5m seems an absolute steal for McGinn. So glad he took the hard option over the easy Celtic one. He’d go for similar money as grealish if we had to sell him in the summer (notwithstanding activation clauses in their contracts - let’s not go there again!)

Grealish is obviously brilliant, but it's McGinn for me. He's everything you could want in a footballer.
